The Donjoy Drytex Playmaker Knee Brace is a hinged brace which is suitable for sports and skiing and supports anterior cruciate ligament injuries and tears in the cartilage. One of the features of this product is that the hinge can be locked into 9 different positions to give various ranges of knee bend to suit the individual.
The product can be used to support knee instability following either partial or full tears of the ACL. It best supports mild instability and if you have moderate or severe instability, other suitable products include the Donjoy Armor With Forcepoint or the Donjoy Legend (both are available on the website detailed below).
The Donjoy Drytex Playmaker Knee Brace is lightweight and suitable for those with neoprene allergies as it is made from a robust yet lightweight polyester nylon weave. This also makes the brace comfortable to wear for a range of different activities.
It is available in six different sizes ranging from extra small, which is suitable for those with a thigh measurement of 13" right up to xxl, which will fit up to a 29.5" thigh.
The polycentric hinge recreates the usual movement of a normal knee joint and this increases the stability of the knee. The brace also has a patented system which restores the stability of the knee joint itself by preventing movement of the shin in relation to the thigh. The simple pin system adopted by Donjoy allows the motion range to be set in degrees, ranging from 0-90. The adjustment is simple and can be done easily with a screwdriver. This allows you to prevent certain knee movements to provide protection.
